Offline Campers expands manufacturing footprint at former Holden site

Offline Campers (↗) has moved into a bigger home at Lionsgate, the former Holden site in Adelaide’s north, quadrupling its floor space with a new facility.

The upgraded site opened officially earlier this month, with renovated factory and office space now giving the South Australian, family-owned company more than 4500sqm to work with.

Founded by Sam Reynolds in a backyard shed after a career as a mechanical engineer, the business has grown into a manufacturing operation now based at the Lionsgate facility, where more than 20 staff build its camper trailers.

“Offline Campers has been focussing on building the highest-quality campers, working with Australian suppliers to use locally-manufactured components such as steel and electronic fittings, aimed to withstand the harshest conditions of remote and off-grid locations,” said Sam Reynolds, now the company director.

“We’ve been listening to people who want to go further offroad and off-grid to meet their specific needs, whether that be the comfort of a shower, coffee machine and queen-sized bed or better dirt and dust protection for their dirt bikes while off the beaten track,” he said.

“Because we take the time to adapt each camper to our customers’ needs, we have forward orders until 2027 and we’ve had to expand our manufacturing capabilities. That means more jobs, more money being spent in Adelaide’s north, and ultimately more people touring through South Australia’s remote and incredibly beautiful outback.”

The Aussie company produces a range of camper trailers including the Solitaire, Raker, Domino and Ryder models, forming its hybrid and off-road touring lineup designed for extended remote travel and off-grid use.

Offline Campers (↗) is one of the few Australian manufacturers designing and building locally, using as many locally made components as possible in its camper trailers.
